Dlaczego warto badać heraldykę w literaturze fantasy (i jak wykorzystać do tego warsztat przekładoznawczy)? by Agnieszka Żurek

“…Tolkien, Lyonesse, Discworld, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, The Wheel of Time, A Song of Ice and Fire) shows that the basic functions of heraldic motifs in these works are the axiological determination of the presented world and social commentary. A significant reduction or extension of the number of people entitled to wear a coat of arms may serve to represent a relatively egalitarian society; extensive heraldic systems with elements of correct blazoning most often have a satirical function. …”

Daisy-chain gene drives: The role of low cut-rate, resistance mutations, and maternal deposition. by Sebald A N Verkuijl, Michelle A E Anderson, Luke Alphey, Michael B Bonsall

“…We find that the self-limiting nature of daisy-chain gene drives makes their spread highly dependent on the efficiency and fidelity of the inheritance biasing mechanism. In particular, reductions in the cut-rate and the formation of non-lethal resistance alleles can cause drive elements to lose their linked configuration. …”

A syllable-character collaborative model for enhanced Pinyin and Chinese recognition. by Zeyuan Chen, Cheng Zhong, Danyang Chen

“…Inspired by the learning process of Chinese beginners, who first master initials, finals, and pinyin before learning characters, we propose the Syllable-Character Collaborative Model (SCCM), which incorporates these phonetic elements into the training process. Additionally, we design a Pinyin-Ensemble module that employs an ensemble learning approach to reduce pinyin recognition errors, which in turn leads to a reduction in text recognition errors. …”

Lean thinking turns ‘time is brain’ into reality by Li Min Li, Sharon Johnson

“…From the standpoint of process improvement or a lean thinking perspective, there is a potential opportunity to reduce the time by eliminating non-value-added steps in each element of the stroke survival chain. The reduction in one time element does not necessarily shift the OTT under 90 minutes. …”

Messages from Powdery Mildew DNA: How the Interplay with a Host Moulds Pathogen Genomes by Spanu Pietro D

“…This is due to an extraordinary expansion of retro-trasposons that are evident as repetitive elements in the sequence. The protein coding genes are fewer than expected due to an overall reduction in the size of gene families, a reduction in the number of paralogs and because of the loss of certain metabolic pathways. …”

THE APPROACH TOWARDS THE ESTIMATION OF THE ARTILLERY AND ROCKET TROOPS “FIRE FOR EFFECT” ON ENEMY MODERN UNMANNED AIRCRAFT COMPLEX POSITIONS EFFECTIVENESS by Yurii Y. Repilo, Oleksii O. Riman, Dmytro D. Demydko

“…Reconnaissance-fire system combat effectiveness is presented by the number of our troops destroyed targets, which are unified into relatively homogenous combat elements. The reduction of reconnaissance-fire system combat effectiveness due to the unmanned aircraft positions fire damage dealt by rocket troops and artillery is characterized by the “fire for effect” efficiency, dependent on the number of destroyed complexes of appropriate class. …”
